----ok this is the real beginning, before that first chapter thing. Please review-----







He sat in the tree without leaves as he watched her jump through the well with her big yellow backpack. They had had their usual arguement over her leaving a few minutes earlier. He still had dirt on his face from being sat in the dirt. He always said that he wanted her to stay to find jewel shards, or simply complained that she left way too often. He never told her the real reason, that it just felt wrong not having her around. Perhaps he didn't tell her because he was too hard headed to admit something like that, or maybe he just hadn't realized it yet. Anyway this time she left it just felt different. Inuyasha couldn't place why, but he knew it had nothing to do with jewel shards.




Inuyasha suddenly felt as if something attached to his chest was gently tugging him to the well, like a magnet of sorts. He sighed and looked away from the well. He wouldn't give her the satisfaction of having him tell her that he didn't like her being gone, nor would he risk the pain of her laughing at him for it. He had just had too many painful moments like that in his life.





Slowly his eyes found their way back to the well and he looked at it for a time.




"what does she even do in her time period? There aren't any demons or nothing there, what could take so long?" he wondered aloud.




Again he felt himself being tugged toward the well. He growled in annoyance and again turned his head away from the well.


"its not like I want to go see her or anything." he tried to assure himself.




told himself this in his head many times, but in a hidden corner of his mind he knew he was wrong.






He stood up on the branch and glared determinedly at the well with narrowed eyes. <i> 'I will NOT go down there and beg her to come back like some lost puppy!' </i> he thought.



several moments he maintained his heightened sense of stubbornness but his impulsiveness got the better of him. He leapt from his acustomed branch and landed lightly on his feet in the grass.






'I just want to se what she does over there. Its not like she has to see me or anything.' he thought as he walked to the well. He was just about to enter it when he heard a voice from behind him.





"hey Inuyasha are you going to get Kagome? she only left like an hour ago." Shippou inquired with his usual infuriating innocence.





Inuyasha turned his head and gave the fox kit an annoyed look, surpressing the urge to thwomp him.




"no, I'm just goin to see what the hell she could be doing that takes so long over there. I'll be back soon enough" With that he dropped through the well and landed at the bottom in the dirt. He leapt back out and was in the Higurashi shrine.





He sniffed the air to determine if Kagome was nearby or not. She wasn't, though he could smell the trail she had left. He put on the hat that was left in the shrine to conceal his ears and stepped put of the shrine. He followed the scent trail out of the Higurashi residence and walked along the hard grey pathway lined with poles. Next to the pathway which he walked was a very busy street, which led to an intersection with three other very busy streets. Inuyasha hated and was also slightly scared of cars, they smelled awful and made him uneasy, although he would never admit this to anybody. It always seemed as if they were heading right toward you and were about ro ram you head on at the frightening speeds at which they traveled.






He came upon the intersection as he followed her scent. It was extremely difficult, her scent was mixed with those of thusands of other humans and the exhaust from the cars seemed to cloak everything in putrid stench.



'damnit, all this stuff makes it so hard to smell anything in this time. No wonder there's no demons left' </i>he thought, annoyed.






He got on his hands and knees and sniffed the pavement for a few seconds, getting him a multitude of stares from the crowded sidewalk. He determined that she was across the wide black pathway where the cars zoomed past.




didn't want to go in the street, and Kagome had told him to never cross unless she was with him. As he stood there trying to think of a solution he remembered something Kagome had told him to help him get over his uneasiness around cars.



though it may feel like they're all going to hit you they're not going to, so don't worry so much"</i> she had told him.




Kagome had never lied to him seriously, and he was sure that he wouldn't be hurt too bad if one hit him. They couldn't hit much harder than a demon.






After waiting for a time when the cars stopped passing for a moment he carefully stepped onto the pavement and began hurridley walking across.



'they won't hit me, they won't hit me, they won't hit me.....'</i> he repeated to himself.





When he was about halfway across the first segment of road a red car zoomed past him with it's brakes screeching and swerving to avoid him, causing him to jump back a few feet. He was so shocked by the sudden passing of the car that he didn't pay attention to what he was doing for a moment. The bus hit him head on.






After the bus hit him he was knocked maybe thirty feet forward and into another lane of traffic. Just as he opened his eyes an S.U.V. ran over his midsection followed by a car and a station wagon until a red volkswagen stopped suddenly before him getting forcefully rear ended by a pickup truck and being knocked over his legs, trapping him to the ground and breaking several bones in his feet and knees.






The owner of the decimated volkswagen managed to get out of the car and collapsed onto the street with a bleeding head. The owner of the pickup truck had already called 911 and was describing the accident on his cell phone as he ran to where Inuyasha lay. On his way he stepped on the hat that hid Inuyasha's ears.
